Thanks for the kind words, pirl. Is that photo a Vancover or one of the Akitas? That is gorgeous. I like that one. The tuber in this photo is the world's most under-achieving tuber. It had a sprout an inch long in mid-May. I've had it in a zip-loc bag of damp soil, in a pot, in the ground and back in the zip-lok. Photo was made in late September and had sprouted maybe another half-inch in all this time. It started to shrivel so I laid it to rest in the compost pile. What am I missing? lol
